What a great idea. Best of luck with it.So far I am doing ok in the arthritis department sometimes my FM acts up and I hurt.
I have to admit though the first thing I thought when I saw electric rotary cutter was "Oh Boy. Now I can cut my fingers faster" LOL Last time I cut it was my fault for not closing but I have been cutting and gotten distracted(by animals) and sliced my fingers. |

I have a Birdie. These run at very fast speeds. You would have to be very experienced to cut quilt blocks with an electric cutter. They are great for stacking layers of fabric, about 6, and cutting around a heavy cardboard or plexiglas templates. I have much experience with an electric cutter and would not be able to cut quilt blocks accurately. She seemed to say that it WAS for quilting, though. Hopefully it will be able to cut quilt blocks accurately! I'd love to hear more info about it! |
Electric rotary cutter sounds like a winner.

Great idea, let us know when it will be available. I bought an electric scissors from Sears about 50 years ago and it still works great when I think to get it out. Works neat on long rows of cutting. I sewed drapes back then and cutting with a regular scissors cramped my hands.
Good luck, we need one of them. Carol J. |
Good for you! :thumbup:

Wonderful. Congratulations to you.

Congratulations. Keep us posted on more info.
Quilters have GREAT imaginations. One lady had her husband take a blade and refit it so you can cut the holes to crochet around the edge of fleece. Now they have 2 different sizes for different type of yarns. They patented the idea and are now selling them. Cathy |
